Medicaid Funding Requirements of States
The ACA (Affordable Care Act) provides 100 percent funding for the increased state portion of Medicaid, but only from 2014 to 2016. After that time, federal support gradually declines. For states that have low income-eligibility levels before 2014, this change will be expensive over the long term. Although increased levels of income eligibility are a key way the ACA increases insurance coverage in the United States, state pressure may change this policy.

...applications like Adobe Photoshop, or Microsoft Office? This is possible with open-source software. The term "open-source" is defined to describe software, which is available to the public in source code form that does not have licensing restrictions, which limit use, modification, or redistribution. The etymology stems of the word "open" comes from the Proto-Germanic term "upana" which means "raised up." The word "source" comes from the Old French term "sourse" which means "to rise, or spring up." Teams of programmers scattered around the world typically develop open-source software, but universities, government agencies, and corporations like IBM also develop it. Why is open-source software good for consumers, corporations, and even students? Teachers and students have full access to the internals of the program, which allow them to find out how a program works and helps the learning process of programming in general. Corporations and home users don't have to wait for just one single company such as Microsoft to release updates or patches to broken software, instead a community of software developers provide fixes for open-source software a lot quicker than just one company. With the freedom from the restrictions of use, modification, and redistribution, open-source software has been proven to be scaleable, more reliable, more secure, and perform better than closed-source software.

I discovered all three websites by using the Google search engine in an attempt to corroborate my topic through the World Wide Web. Two of the Three were scholarly articles; one by Florida State University and the other by the Eastern Illinois University; both had multiple citing for correlation between ethnicity, age, sex, and tattoos. The third is a website sponsored by a consulting firm called Burleson consulting whose main goal is to help potential employees advance in the work place despite their body modifications.
All three help build the foundation of my investigation into why the body modification industry seems to be booming when other businesses are failing in the present economy, however, they don’t really substantiate my query as to a concrete reason.

...The main sources of mass media in the 1900’s were newspaper, magazines, and radio. In the mid 1900’s the radio was more announced and more radio stations emerged. In the late 1900’s, the introduction of computers came about, the rise of internet, portable computers, videos and DVDS came out, introduction of cable, satellite TV, and compact disks. From back then to the present day, many more forms of communication have been exploded. The process just keeps growing with the development of computers to internet to mobile phones. The whole process of media keeps growing; it gets better and gets faster. Individuals want to be aware and informed as soon as possible when something tragic happens, and the time frame of finding out is shorter and shorter. The present day there are many forms of mass media, as soon as something major happens, we can flip on the television or flip on the internet and it’s right there before our eyes, the whole story on who and what was involved, back then it might have been a week or so before any one had known what happened. Also, many people in the old days flipped through the radio to hear details on the ongoing war. I remember when I was old enough to get my first cell phone, my grandpa would sit and tell me, how he wished they would have has the opportunity to have them when he was growing up, something’s might have turned out differently than they did....

...Documenting Sources
Documenting means showing where you got source information that's not your own. Remember, a research paper blends your ideas with ideas and information from other sources. Documentation shows the reader what ideas are yours and what information and ideas you've taken from a source to support your point of view.
Why Document?
* By correctly documenting, you establish your credibility as a writer and researcher. You're letting your reader know that you've consulted experts whose ideas and information back up your own thoughts and ideas. Consequently, you make your viewpoint or argument more believable.
* When you don't document correctly, your academic integrity can be called into question, because it may seem as though you're passing off others' ideas as your own.
* If you don't document, you could inadvertently plagiarize, which is grounds for dismissal from college.
Academic Integrity
Academic integrity involves not only acknowledging your sources, but also creating your own ideas. Academic integrity, explained in this way, sounds relatively simple. But the particular applications are a bit more tricky. The most common academic integrity problems that most students encounter are:
1. relying too heavily on others' information in a research paper
2. relying too heavily on others' words in a paraphrase or summary
3. citing and documenting sources incorrectly
4. relying too heavily on help from other sources

2. An evening with Hanoi Hanna
Ms Trinh Thi Ngo, North Vietnam’s chief female radio propagandist during the war was labelled ‘Hanoi Hanna’ by the American troops. In fact there were many ‘Hannas – all females with persuasive voices – who saturated radio frequencies easily found by American soldiers in the field. Hanoi Hanna always operated at night and continually focused on conditions in Vietnam and the American homefront. Hanna’s primary goal was to destabilise the emotions and fortitude of the US troops. The following is an extract from one of her broadcasts:
‘... Intelligent American GIs, why have you come to Vietnam? Your government has betrayed you. There is nothing noble about your mission. There is no reason why you should be here. You will never defeat the forces of our Fatherland. The French never learned, will you? Do you miss your families and homes? There are questioning why you are here. In America there is no unity there is violence, there is protest against you. Why are you here? When you sit alone at night and think of your loved ones, our gallant soldiers are watching you. You cannot escape. Do you have a watch, American......

...Italy were that the politicians and ministers that lead the country were incapable and inadequate to lead a navy and war. This can be seen in source 7 where Garibaldi describes the politicians as ‘ignorant’ and ‘repugnant’ and the main reason why Italy lost the Battle of Lissa with a fleet superior to Austria’s. He goes on to explain that Garibaldi was given six gunboats ‘of which only one could be put into operation - where as the Austrians had eight gunboats mounting thirty-six cannon. Furthermore, Garibaldi entirely blames the ministers of the navy and the army due to a ‘defect in leadership’. In addition, even after union with Venetia, the Italians felt humiliated as they had suffered devastating and embarrassing defeat at the Battle of Custozza and the Battle of Lisa (July 1866). The Austrians were eventually crushed by the Prussians at Sadowa. They were the forced to cede Venice to France, which promptly handed it over to the Italians. The manner in which the Italians gained control over Venice was seen as a disgrace. As Villari expresses in source 8, ‘yet no one is consent’ and goes on to suggest that the war with Austria destroyed their ‘ultimate self-confidence’. Moreover, the source also suggests that the Italians had underestimated the Germans at the time as ‘the traditionally slow Germans were seen to move like lightning’. This source also suggests that the country is badly lead (‘blame is placed on the political system, on Piedmontism or on the bosses’) and that......

...Sources of Innovation
Innovations can be triggered form may sources. Understanding the sources and their undelaying elements are very much important for the innovation process. Vega project has been started to prove the world that Sri Lanka can be the next destination for the high tech world class product design, development and manufacturing in automobile industry. In this case sources of innovation can be identified as recombinant innovation and users as innovators.
Recombinant innovation
There is an optimal rate of innovation effort that is correlated with the rate of recombinant innovations and reduce the switching costs of technology adoption. Car manufacturing is one of the highest production sector in automobile industry. Companies differentiate their products in terms of design, fuel efficiency, performance and ect to be dominated in the market place. Codegen being a leading IT company in Sri Lanka has found out a way to manufacture cars by using electrical components. There are lots of innovations and its applications can be seen in several industries. Codegen has identified the potential in combining those of electrical technologies in car manufacturing.

An important part of being an historian is acting as a detective and investigating your sources before using them in a paper. In this activity, you are the detective! To use a source effectively, you will need to understand everything you can about it, including author, the relation of the author to the subject he or she is writing about, what the source says, and so on.
Answering these questions below is an important first step in writing your final paper!
Part I: Primary Source Investigation!
Instructions: Choose one of your primary sources and answer the questions below in your own words. With the exception of Question 1, all answers should be at least 100 words.
1. What is the name of your source and when was it produced? The Nashville Daily Union published : 2/17/1863
2. Who was the author/creator of this document and how is the author related to the event he/she is writing about? There is no specific person listed as the writer in this article only that is was publish by an Association of Printers, at the date of the piece being publish they writers seemed to cover everything from court proceedings to what was delivered to the local general store for purchase. They even went so far as to publish the names of police officers who working what hours, writing about military resolutions also publishing about sales on flour for cooking or baking and about new laws being passed.

...Understanding the credibility of a source is important for succeeded in writing clear and accurate papers. This assignment showed me that some sources can easily be manipulated to insert one’s own opinion, which can lead to misinterpretations of the facts. Not only did I find sources that where bad, I begun to understand what a good source looks like. The majority of these sources seemed to come from either books or scholarly databases.
The first question I answered was “who wrote that the people get the government that they deserve?”. I found this answer on a website called the Big Apple. Alexis de Tocqueville wrote this statement in his book called Democracy in America. The source I found this information from did not seem credible. The website was not from a dot mil or org domain. Also, the website sited the majority of its content from Wikipedia. This leads me to question much of its content.
The second question I answered was “How were the colleges Smith, Bryn Mawr, Radcliffe, Vassar, and others collectively known?” I found a book on the subject by using the search engine Google scholar. This Guides to Educational Planning contained information on how to plan for your college experience and succeed. This book had great information on the Seven Sisters, the answer to the question.
The third question I answered was “who first invented the modern concept of city police and what were or are they called?”. The answer to this question was the Romans. The information...
